2010 NFL Draft – Picks 1-10 Analysis

Well so far the picks from my mock draft are way off. But I am excited that the Rams picked Sam Bradford. Other thoughts:

Best Value Pick – Ndamukong Suh – Detroit Lions #2
The Lions have to be thrilled to get the top talent with the second pick in the draft. He should be terrorizing offenses in Detroit for many years.

Biggest Surprise Pick – Player – Tyson Alualu – Jacksonville Jaguars #10
What? This is a huge shock to me. I didn’t even have him in the first round. I had already typed Joe Haden but had to delete him. I like Haden but was surprised he got picked so early.

Biggest Surprise Pick – Team – Oakland Raiders – Rolando McClain #8
I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but with all the needs the Raiders have I’m shocked they picked McClain. They could really have Bryan Bulaga or Jimmy Clausen. I had them taking C.J. Spiller.

Surprise Pick I Really Like – Buffalo Bills – C.J. Spiller #9
Can’t blame the Bills for going out and getting a playmaker with this pick. Spiller can help them much more quickly than Clausen would be able to, although they could really use some offensive line help. Buffalo fans will love Spiller.
